Galactic tensions rise as Apple TV+ series 'Foundation' returns in July
I was a bit disappointed by the 1st season. Then I re-read last year all these books. And it is much better story than it is shown in the film.- Galactic Empire series

- The Currents of Space (1952) - second novel, set in the 112th century (11129), set thousands of years in the future during Trantor's unification of the galaxy into a Galactic Empire[5]
- Pebble in the Sky (1950) - third novel, set in the 125th century (12411), primarily set thousands of years in the future on Earth, when the galaxy is unified into a Galactic Empire[5]
- "Blind Alley" (1945) - short story, set in the 126th century (12561—12562)[5]

Google keeps trying to hammer on Apple for not adopting RCS
charlesn said:Google is as evil as Facebook/Meta, if not more so. I trust nothing from the company in terms of not monetizing the data of its users in surreptitious ways. It even destroyed its own best-in-class search engine so it could serve up sponsored results posing as most relevant to your search.
So how is it destroying its search engine? -

Apple will make big interface changes in watchOS 10
discountopinion said:Great comments in the thread.
Fully agree that Apple Watch cutting the cord from the iPhone would be fantastic in a similar way that iPhone cut to cord from iTunes. Perhaps this will also encourage more people to get the cellular version of the Apple Watch. Myself I have opted for the tethered version for a long time but I feel ready to make the jump into cellular when I buy the Ultra soon.
WatchOS 10 being its own citizen may also encourage app devs to make the Apple Watch apps more rich in functionality. Would be epic to be able to do much more from the Watch than currently possible.
A feature in WatchOS 10 that I would highly appreciate would be a School-lockdown mode similar in accessibility to Theatre mode where some features are visually verifiable to not be active like messaging and Siri. I see a trend with schools in the UK to be banning Apple Watch in lessons due to them being "disruptive" similar to how smart phones are banned. Fitbits etc are not banned and this places Apple at a competitive disadvantage for family issuing of Apple Watches to kids.
Why can't you do it already now with a focus mode based on the location. This could silence the watches. But they still could be distracting.
So you would need to have something like a content restriction in a screen time, but for the watch.
Still the schools can't rely that the parents will do that 'screen time management'. -
